Welcome to Adventures in Crafting, Cooking, and Couponing! I hope this blog inspires you to get crafty, try new (easy!) recipes, and even embrace the art of couponing! I will be learning right along with you and documenting everything here.

If using chicken breasts, Cut each breast into 3 pieces. Season all the chicken with the spices, then wrap a bacon slice around each piece, roll in brown sugar and place into an oven proof dish. Make sure you have some olive oil in the dish too, like 2 or 3 tablespoons is fine. I used PAM rather than olive oil.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy.

Parmesan Roasted Tomatoes

Ingredients

4 tomatoes, halved horizontally I used 2 large tomatoes (halved them, cut off the ends, giving me two thick slices per tomato...4 total slices)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese I used Kraft grated Parm

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano I used Publix Italian seasonings

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 450° F. Place tomatoes cut-side up (this didn't apply to me as both sides were cut) on a baking sheet (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easy clean up). Top with Parmesan, oregano, salt and pepper (I also sprinkled on some shredded cheese). Drizzle with oil and bake until the tomatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
